This is it. You made it. Thank you for being here.

[B]

You guys, what was an absolutely beautiful 80 degree day here in New York City?

[A]

Come on.

[B]

It was so warm. I saw a Wall street stockbroker sharing a pinkity drinkity with Zoran Mamdani. Thank you. It was so warm today in Central Park. I saw a square rubbing SPS 50 on his nuts and I.

[A]

No way.

[B]

Let's get to some news here. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis just signed a bill to rename Palm Beach International Airport as President Donald J. Trump International Airport. Finally fulfilling Trump's lifelong dream of having an entire Chili's two inside him. You'll know it's officially Trump Airport when they open up a Hudson. Fake news. You'll know it's Trump Airport when they replace the TSA scanners with MRI machines. You know what I'm saying? Meanwhile, Trump just shared renderings, renderings of what his future presidential library in Miami could look like. Did you see this?

[C]

This is real.

[B]

Take up this photo. Wow. Oh, yeah. Well, it's better than the original rendering where Trump had two Las Vegas spheres attached. And I think that's. That was too much. That was. I didn't. Switching gears. Do you guys see this? A group of thieves just stole several paintings from a museum in Italy. Yeah. In just three minutes, they managed to steal works from artists like Renoir and Matisse. Joining us now via satellite to talk about what happened is the museum's head of security, Jacques Fournier. Thank you for being here, Jacques.

[D]

Merci,

[C]

merci. Jimmy. It has been, how you say, a challenging time here in Italia.

[B]

Right, right. The museum is in Italy, but if I'm not mistaken, you sound French.

[C]

We, I am originally from la France. I moved here after I was fired from my old job.

[B]

Oh, what was that?

[C]

Head of security at the Louvre.

[B]

I see. Well, to be honest, I'm surprised they hired you, considering they also had a giant heist.

[C]

I guess I interview well, but I do not know how this happened again, but we have the best gods, the best chemicals and the best, how you say, thermal imaging, security, infrastructure. Absolutely nothing can get past us.

[A]

No, no, no.

[B]

Jacques, Jacques, Jacques. A man in a ski mask just stole a painting.

[C]

I know. I know. It's still fresh in my mind. My family is ashamed. My father says I am, how you say, a disappointment to my entire lineage. And I am beginning to believe he is white.

[B]

Jacques. Jacques, stop him.

[C]

How can I stop him? He is my father. He can be harsh. But I love him. He made me the man I am.

[B]

What is that sound? Jacques, you have to do something.

[C]

I know I do. I will call him later and ask for forgiveness. But that sound means it is time for my smoke break. Au revoir.

[D]

Wait.

[C]

Hey, you.

[A]

Internet. And I have a light.

[B]

Hey, smoking. Well, everyone, this is going viral at Disneyland Paris. Just opened a new frozen theme park. And their Olaf robot had a little malfunction. Check it out. Do you want to rebuild a snowman? You had to do it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yes, the video of Olaf went. And it is a guess, a little unsettled. Here to comment on it is another Disney animatronic from Frozen. Kristoff.

[A]

Hi, Jimmy. Great to be here.

[B]

We're excited to have you. Now, the Olaf animatronic malfunctioning yesterday was pretty unsettling. Has he been fixed?

[E]

Ha ha.

[F]

Fret not, dear friend. My companion Olaf is currently undergoing maintenance and will be back to providing Disney magic soon.

[B]

That's good. What do you have to say to guests who are slightly disturbed by the malfunction?

[A]

Ha ha.

[F]

Worry not. Malfunctions are rare. And I can assure you us animatronics are reliable as ever. Would you like me to sing you.

[B]

A song?

[C]

Sure.

[B]

Are you sure you're okay?

[F]

You make me laugh. I can assure you. Disney magic soon.

[B]

Okay, I hate to break it to you, Kristof, but you also seem to be malfunctioning here.

[E]

Aha.

[F]

Fret not, dear friend.

A Kristoff animatronic, everyone.

You know, it's really funny. Cause parents are the ones who are like, honey, this is Princess Fiona. She does the voice for Princess Fiona. And one time, this little girl, she just looked at me and burst into tears. She just started crying. So, like, bawling her eyes out. And her mom's like, I'm so sorry. I'm like, I really don't take it personally. I would cry if I found out the voice of.

[E]

I think you know what I've always wanted to do?

[B]

What?

[E]

Like a season on snl. Like, a full season on snl. Like, from the beginning to the end. Like, just become a cast member on Drew. And I talked about it, like, 20 years ago. But, like, doing Ethan on. As a cast member on SNL would be so much fun.

[B]

I think the first time I met you was when you hosted snl.

[E]

Yeah.

So my friend, meanwhile, is behind me taking these photos, laughing his ass off. Hold on, here we go. Yeah. So the hand comes out. I'm now trembling. The show isn't ending. It's like gorgeous model after gorgeous model.

I don't remember a thing.

[B]

Yeah. Anyway, that's what you do for fashion.

[G]

You do a lot for fashion.

[B]

Dan, I think the first time you came on our show was with the cast of Schitt's Creek.

[G]

That's right.

[B]

And you were here and amazing cast and I appreciate you doing that. And I think it was. Catherine o' Hara was on as well. And I've just got to say I'm so sorry about the passing. We. Gosh, you must have been.

[G]

Listen, it's like a Collective loss. I think she was the greatest. She's irreplaceable. And, you know, I think the great comfort for me has just been to see how loved she was. You know what I mean?

[B]

She really was.

[G]

The outpouring. Everyone felt like they kind of knew her.

[B]

She could do everything. She's one of the funniest comedians I've ever seen. Absolutely. Can do characters. Can.

[C]

Unbelievably.

[B]

She's just gorgeous.

[G]

Talented at improvising. One of the great, great, great, great.

[B]

Yeah. We love you. I want to talk about your new show. It is called Big Mistakes.

[G]

Yeah.

[B]

And it's. Yes. It's very, very, very funny. It has a very funny premise that stems from. I read, a real phobia that you have.

[G]

I have an irrational fear of being blackmailed into organized crime.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

We can relate. A lot of people can relate.

[G]

I don't know how. I don't know why, but if you really think about it, would you want to be blackmailed into organized.

[B]

No, I would not. I have a phobia, too, I guess.

[G]

I mean, I wouldn't do well. So when you're writing a show, you almost kind of have to think about, like, okay, well, what's the worst case scenario that you would want to find yourself in?

[B]

And it's this.

[G]

And I am. My character is just as incapable as I would be if I were to find myself blackmailed into organized crime. It's perfectly, instantly killed.

[B]

Yeah.

[G]

Like, 45 seconds into meeting me, these

[B]

people would just off you. Yeah. And you came up with the idea with Rachel Sennott.

[G]

That's right.

[B]

Who, Gosh, is so funny and one of the freshest voices in comedy. She's great. How did you just. From this.

[G]

Well, I mean, I had the premise, which is these two siblings find themselves, like, blackmailed into crime, and I thought, well, who else would be so unbelievably incapable of handling criminal activity? And called Rachel.

[B]

Yeah.

[G]

I still to this day, like, she could just be offended by every time I mention this, but she said yes, and the two of us put our brains together and made this nutty show funny.

[B]

And you play a pastor, by the way.

[G]

I play a pastor. Yeah. In a stunning turn of events, I

[B]

also love that you wrote this show.

[G]

Yeah.

[B]

You're making all these choices.

[G]

Yeah. I got to employ myself somehow.

[B]

Yes, but you chose play the parts

[G]

you're not getting anywhere else.

[B]

I know a pastor.

[G]

No one's handing me action scripts.

[B]

Going to the orientation.

[G]

I had to write it for myself.

[B]

You are doing stunts in this by the way.

[G]

Yeah.

[B]

100%. Oh, my God. How do you feel about that?

[G]

Well, by stunts. Have you done stunts?

[B]

I mean, I haven't done stunts like this. Well, that's not surreal. That is something else. Not everyone can do that.

[G]

Once you do that, you can do anything. The great thing about being, like an actor and not a stunt person is that you do the stunt. Or rather someone does the stunt. You then come in and pick up where they left off. So they do all the hard work. And then you come in and you're like, wow. And hope that it looks real.

[B]

Yeah.

[G]

And then I guess you come on a late night talk show and reveal all the secrets.

[A]

No. Yeah. No.

[G]

No.

[B]

Yeah. Spoil everything.

[G]

Anyway, I did the stunt. Yes, I did.

[B]

You didn't. But it looks real. That's right. And what a cast, by the way. Laurie Metcalf. Laurie Metcalf had me screaming out loud, laughing. She's unbelievably funny.

[G]

And, like, I've just admired her my whole life. Gosh. And never in a million years did I think she'd say yes. And then the minute you have Laurie Metcalf on your show, you're like rest writes itself.

[B]

But I couldn't keep a straight face. The scenes are unreal.

[G]

We couldn't keep a straight face. We were in the scenes. And I learned this on Schitt's Creek. Sometimes you just have to go with the laughter and let your character also find the person amusing.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[G]

It's a way of making yourself look a little bit more professional.

[A]
